According to Movies.Yahoo.com, a group by the name "Geeks Out" has launched a virtual protest against this movie, and is asking people to "Skip Ender's Game" because of anti-gay marriage comments made by Orson Scott Card, author of the 1985 book.
"Do not buy a ticket at the theater, do not purchase the DVD, do not watch it on-demand. Ignore all merchandise and toys," the site implores. "By pledging to Skip Ender's Game, we can send a clear and serious message to Card and those that do business with his brand of anti-gay activism -- whatever he's selling, we're not buying."
The Geeks Out site says the group is organizing a series of "Skip Ender's Game" events in New York, Orlando, Seattle and other major U.S. cities to coincide with the movie's debut.
The story of "Ender's Game" is set 70 years after a horrific alien war, and follows an unusually gifted child sent to an advanced military school in space to prepare for a future invasion.
In my most honest and humble opinion,I just don't care what groups or petitions might tell me or want me to do. If I enjoy good sci-fi (I just started reading this particular book and it is great!) or movie, then it is up to me to go see it or not, no matter what the author might think of a certain topic. That's the great thing about free will and not being a sheep,you can make your own choice regardless of who or what tells you otherwise.
